Permit Types

Residential Permits

Provide parking to residents living in a permitted area. All permits are nontransferable and must be placed on the drivers side (passengers seat) window, so that it is clearly visible to the Parking Enforcement Officers.

Vehicle Registration Modification for Residential Permit Requirements

The purpose of this modification is to provide students living in a Residential Permit Area the opportunity to purchase a permit. We have received several concerns from parents and students about their difficulty with meeting the vehicle registration requirement. Therefore this modification allows a student / resident using a parent’s vehicle to purchase a parking permit.

Requirements

Parent / Child relationship (Other family relationships may apply)

Vehicle must have a PA license plate (This modification does not apply to vehicles with out-of-state tags)

Copy of the vehicle registration

The child must be covered under the parents insurance policy (Proof of insurance is needed)

Two current proofs of residency with child's name and borough address appearing on them

Non Residential Permits

These permits provide temporary parking for employees of businesses located in a residential permit area. Specific requirements apply.

Business Permit

This type of permit is for use by contracted "service providers" temporarily working in a residential permit area. Business permits may not be used to provide daily parking for individuals living or visiting an address in the Permit Area.

Temporary Permit

Temporary permits are issued to permit holders to accommodate temporary parking needs such a planned gathering, special event, use for a rental car while vehicle is being repaired, or other special situation. There is no fee for temporary permits, but requests should be made with reasonable advance notice. Download the Temporary Permit Request Form (PDF) or contact the Parking Services Office for assistance.
